Those are really good choices. I re-read the Mars trilogy every couple of years, though the differences between the book's timeline and our own are getting a little embarrassing :-) Here are some early "cyberpunk" books that people may not be aware of. I'm using a loose definition of stories where networked computers play a major role, the characters are technologically sophisticated and from the shady edge of society, and there's a caper of some kind. John Brunner, The Shockwave Rider (1975) Thomas J Ryan, The Adolescence of P-1 (1977) Vernor Vinge, True Names (1980) John M Ford, Web of Angels (1980) I've left a few out (e.g., Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Bester's The Computer Connection) because they're not really "punk". |
